Tomorrow is May 1st so I thought you all would like to know the birth flower for May is:
Lily of The Valley
Lily of the valley is a very small and delicate flower with tiny bell shaped blooms. It is usually white, but on very rare occasion it will be pink. Lily of the valley is a very fragile flower and as a result is somewhat expensive. Along with being the birth flower for May it also means sweetness, a return of happiness, purity of heart, you made my life complete, and protection from evil spirits.

This week’s flower is a very elegant bloom.
Garden Rose
Garden roses can also be called English Roses and are usually a hybrid rose. They start to bloom like a peony, or ranunculus in that the petals form a ball and then open to reveal the inner petals. Garden roses can be red, pink, orange, peach, yellow, green, white, cream, or bi-color. The petals are wavy and the blooms are very soft and elegant looking. Garden roses are a popular choice for wedding flowers. Garden Roses have the same meanings as regular roses and vary with the color, however when roses are used as wedding flowers they simply mean happiness.

This week’s flower is one of the best smelling things on this earth.
Gardenia
Gardenia can also be known as Cape Jasmine. Gardenias are always white and are extremely fragrant. They grow on a bush and have stems that are only about an inch long, so they need to have wires added in order to use them in an arrangement or a bouquet. They are perfect for floating in a lotus bowl. Gardenias are very fragile so they should be handled as little as possible to avoid bruising. Gardenia means Secret Love, Joy, You Are Lovely, Good Luck, Feminine Grace, Artistry, Subtlety, Sweet Love, and Refienement.

This week’s flower is an unusual one. It is the tropical Pincushion Protea.
Pin Cushion Protea, as you can see, is a very unique flower. It can be red, orange, or yellow and is a globular flower with pin shaped petals. The flower is native to South Africa, but also grows in some parts of California. Pin Cushion Protea means smelling nice, or don’t despair. Brides may not think of this as a wedding flower but it can look great in a bridal bouquet!
